I'm soooooooo gonna hurl....

I listen to some public radio - some of the good, easy listening "background" music - but their politics stinks - with the vast majority of their shows hosted by very liberal, socialistic minded people. For that reason, I don't contribute.

Bill Moyers is originally from Harrison Co., TX. Harrison Co. was once yellow-dog Democrat country. But this year it voted for Perry and Cornyn over the Democrat "Dream Team."
This must have alienated Bill even more from the people where he grew up -- Marshall, TX. Maybe with Bill gone permanently from Marshall the people are free to exercise some independent judgment without his overbearing defense of Democrats and "our democracy." Remember, Bill also devised the "Daisy" ad against Goldwater in 1964. For years, the ascerbic Goldwater said that Moyers still made him "sick to my stomach."

I saw a little bit pf Moyers tonight...something about Henry Kissinger being a criminal....no black helicopters though. LOL!

DO NOT support public radio if you consider yourself a conservative - you are directly paying for liberal stories meant to twist the truth.

[Lancey Howard]

I agree with the guy who said that Moyers is "irrelevant".
However, this pathetic old drunk Moyers is relevant as long as he is absconding in any way with public tax dollars, and that is what he is doing whenver he appears on PBS.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Better yet, push for the defunding of NPR, PBS and the Legal Services Corporation.

Many Conservatives seem to feel that these institutions can be turned and, besides, they hate to see their favorite programs lost through slashed budgets. In my view, correcting the inbred leftism in these institutions is a hopeless cause - better to redeem the Democratic Party. It would seem that a reluctance lose a favorite program or two interferes with the need to decisively land body blows on a major propaganda voice of the American left.

[Newbomb Turk]

However I love to listen in for FREE. It's kind of like having the enemys battle plan.

Be sure to call in at pledge time to tell them why you don't donate to their liberal biased agenda station.

[LiberalBuster]

Bill Moyers is a worthless socialist windbag. But, the person who gave the title to this article is equally clueless. Politicizing God is just plain stupid. Republicans don't own God anymore than fundamentalists own Jesus.

Yes, you do--with your tax dollars!

[Publius6961]

use "taxing power to transfer wealth from working people to the rich"

Anyone who still uses this tired cliche must have his head up his clymer.

Wealth redistribution is sooooo 60s...

[Calpublican]

Oooohhh! Great idea! We should ALL call in frequently and tie up the phone lines.

" Remember, Bill also devised the "Daisy" ad against Goldwater in 1964. For years, the ascerbic Goldwater said that Moyers still made him "sick to my stomach."

I thought he was also JFK's press secretary. (..or something like that.)

[clintonh8r]

We should have killed PBS and NPR when we had the chance.

[goodnesswins]

"...they hate to see their favorite programs lost through slashed budgets."

If their favorite programs are soooo good, they will survive in the private market.

[The Electrician]

Questions about bias are almost always in the eye of the beholder, according to PBS. A 2002-2003 survey of opinion leaders by Erdos and Morgan, a major market research firm, found that America’s most influential people held that the NewsHour, Frontline, Now and Washington Week were the four most credible public affairs shows on TV.

In other words, a poll of people, many of whom are in the government, receive government grants (handouts), or otherwise have close ties to big government have annointed these PBS shows as "most credible". Talk about a skewed audience from whom to draw your conclusions about PBS bias...

[WorkingClassFilth]

I agree, but you might be suprised how otherwise sane Conservatives will shrink from killing these golden calves. Well, they say, there are a lot of good programs there - blah, blah, blah. Sure there are, but they played classical music in the death camps too, wanna go there for vacation?

[TLBSHOW]

Moyers calls Bill O'Reilly a liar at a far left wing rat news web site this week!

[breakem]

He was LBJ's and I think Pierre Salinger was JFK's. Anyone else?

[Jumper]

National Public Radio is literally liberal, left-wing, college professor Drivel 101 lectured to the masses in attendance.

The government should get out of the Radio Business if NPR is the best in objectivity. Living overseas and hearing NPR on Armed Forces Radio gives me a reason to purchase music CDs.... I cannot stand the biased democrat agenda and I am long past listening to it just to try to understand the opposition - because the opposition, e.g., the democrates stand for nothing and will change their turn while remaining on the attack against anything they oppose; the democrats and liberals have no core values other than to whine and lie, if necessary - all it fair in war and politics.
